Abstract

In this essay I focus on the historian, antiquary and bibliophile Pere Miquel Carbonell, who provides a good case study for assessing the dissemination of Italian humanism in the Crown of Aragon in the last decades of the fifteenth century and the early years of the following century. Carbonell’s manuscript annotations to his copy of Pier Paolo Vergerio’s De ingenuis moribus et liberalibus adulescentiae studiis (Naples 1475) are examined here.

Author Biography

Alejandro Coroleu, ICREA - Univ. Autonoma Barcelona

After studying Classics and Renaissance Studies at the Universitat de Barcelona, I undertook postdoctoral research at The Warburg Institute. I taught and researched at the University of Nottingham between 1995 and 2008. In 2009 I accepted a Research Professorship at ICREA in the Department of Catalan at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. My research interests are the study of Latin literary culture (ca. 1500 - ca. 1700), with particular attention to the relation between Italian and European humanism. I am also interested in the reception of Greek and Roman literatures in early-modern Iberia. In December 2022 I completed a monograph provisionally entitled Latin political propaganda in the War of the Spanish Succession and its Aftermath, 1700-1740, to be published by Bloomsbury.
